They are going to change the server names after the character wipe. No longer "EU 1, 2 and 3". Which means there's no way of telling in advance which will be the busiest (and thus the most difficult to just drop in and play on).

I'll coordinate the outfit anew once the wipe happens. We'll have to see the effect of server name changes & character name changes.

I was just about to ask about coordination for post-wipe, myself. The trouble is really that we don't know what the new servers will be named. I suppose we could simply say which (EU) server # from the top or something. All that said, I'm looking forward to it as I might finally get my plain nick back.

Ah, yes, good point re the name changes. That seems like a good move to eliminate the problem with EU 1 being too crowded to get on and 2 and 3 being a bit deserted - or at least that's how it's seemed since I joined at the weekend.

Will await info on here, and am happy to help with any organisational stuff if and when I can (and once I'm a bit less of a newb of course)!

I kind of assume most old outfits are going to be on a Werner server (if there is one). I'd lean towards a Werner server if there is one, (most ex PS1 Werner outfits will be there to provide a bedrock of enough organisation for moments of epic achievements without an overbearing anal attitude, if the old VS Werner is anything to go by). Hopefully PS2 is pulling in enough non-vets that Werner won't be a cue for most of them...

Unless anyone has objections, I suggest we move the RPS outfits to Thyone.

Ex-Werner outfits (in all Empires) are heading for Thyone. The Werner outfits tend to provide a decent bedrock of organisation at the empire level (without historically being anal, domineering or otherwise having that kind of unsavoury overbearing crap that can come with people trying to organise other people).

My main reasoning is as follows: LdD and ISK (old Werner outifts) have - since the tech test - been running the better public pickup squads / PUGs by a long shot. The RPS outfit's not quite big enough to guarantee a squad at anytime, whilst ex-Werner outfits have been offering public squads with some organisation but pretty relaxed too (i.e: None of those leading PUGs from those and similar ex-Werner outfits are overbearing arsehats. You can expect a Galaxy-hopping jolly and a laugh rather than running around like a headless chicken in the zerg.)

Even if the ex-Werner effect may be a pull for players, it will only be a pull for those who bother looking for it and paying attention to the forums. Without a population count display on the server selection list, the majority of players will probably spread out. Thyone should provide a decent place for PUGs and for the RPS outfit to jump in when we organise stuff, without being the problem of "Server number one" which will stuff it full of people.

I may be wrong and Thyone may also end up overcrowded. I don't think so, but if that is the case, there's always the next wipe...
